Abstract
IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) is a popular connectivity method because of its convenient deployment, low cost and flexibility. Due to the limited coverage of single access point (AP), multiple APs are often arranged in current WLANs to meet the coverage requirement. In such dense WLANs, the actual situation is that every wireless station (WS) has different quality of service (QoS) requirements for the actual acquired throughput. Thus, this paper proposed a QoS-Guaranteed AP selection algorithm to increase the overall QoS of WSs for the actual acquired throughput. The proposed algorithm relies on a centralized framework and considers the diverse QoS requirements. According to these concrete requirements, the proposed algorithm can distribute WSs to APs fairly and achieve the near-optimal access of AP based on the game theory. Finally, the numerical simulation results verify that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the overall QoS of WSs.
